210. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of legal cases brought against his Department in each of the past five years and to date in 2021; and if he will provide details on the nature of these cases. [37809/21]

There have been 21 legal cases brought against my Department since 2016 broken down as follows:

Year Number of Legal Cases
2016 5
2017 4
2018 4
2019 3
2020 3
To date in 2021 2

I am advised that it would not be appropriate to provide details on the nature of the specific cases as to do so would encroach on matters presently before the courts.
